I agree, EXCEPT when this distinguishes a base program and one ported to 
GNOME.  By that I mean that a program that is PORTED to gnome should have 
a g prefix so that it can be separated in both command and reference.  
Examples would be shutdown to gshutdown, fdisk to gfdisk, ect.  Also, a g 
is warranted if it's a normal component, specificly designed for gnome, 
like gwm or gvt.

But projects started from scratch should have normal names without a g 
prefix.
